On December 27, 2005, we migrated our state of organization to the state of Nevada and effective March 23, 2006, the name was changed to NB Telecom.

On December 24, 2008, NB Telecom acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Favor Sea Limited (“Favor Sea (BVI)”), a British Virgin Islands corporation, whose assets, held through its subsidiaries, are 100% of the registered capital of Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Co., Ltd. (“Harbin Xinda”), a limited liability company established under the laws of the People’s Republic of China (“China” or “PRC”) and Harbin Xinda’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Research Institute (the “Research Institute”). Harbin Xinda is engaged in the development, manufacture and marketing of modified plastics, primarily for use in the automotive industry. Harbin Xinda’s offices and manufacturing facilities are located in China.

The 10 shares of the common stock were converted into approximately 50,367,778 shares of the common stock of NB Telecom prior to and approximately 405,802 post a reverse stock split of 124.1 for 1 pursuant to Nevada Revised Statutes Section 78.207 for both the total number of authorized shares of common stock and the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock (“Reverse Split”), and the 1,000,000 shares of convertible Series A preferred stock of NB Telecom shall convert approximately at a rate of 1:38.2 into 38,194,072 shares of the common stock of NB Telecom after the completion of the Merger so that eventually the shareholders of Favor Sea (BVI) own approximately 99% of the common stock of NB Telecom.

Favor Sea (BVI) was incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands on May 2, 2008.

On August 11, 2008, Favor Sea (BVI) acquired a 100% interest in Hong Kong Engineering Plastics Company Limited (“HK Engineering Plastics”), a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on May 27, 2008.

Favor Sea (US) Inc. (“Favor Sea (US)”), wholly owned by Favor Sea (BVI), was incorporated in the state of New York in the U.S. on December 15, 2008.

HK Engineering Plastics, in turn, owns 100% interest of Harbin Xinda, a company established in the PRC on September 23, 2004.

China XD Plastics, through its indirectly owned subsidiary, Harbin Xinda, is primarily engaged in the business of research and development, manufacture, and distribution of modified and engineering plastic pellets used in automotive parts through its manufacturing facility and its wholly owned research laboratory, the Research Institute, a separate entity established in the PRC on November 9, 2007.

In June 2010, China XD Plastics, through its indirectly owned subsidiary, Harbin Xinda, invested  RMB 20 million (approximately US$2.9 million) to establish a new subsidiary under the laws of the PRC, Harbin Xinda Macromolecule Material Engineering Research Center Company Limited (the “New Research Center”).  With the formation of the New Research Center, China XD Plastics will dissolve the existing research facilities held under Research Institute.  The  research staff and equipment under Research Institute will be integrated with the New Research Center. The transfer is expected to be completed by early 2011.

Note 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 include the accounts of China XD Plastics, Favor Sea (BVI), Favor Sea (US), HK Engineering Plastics, Harbin Xinda and the Research Institute. The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2010 also include the accounts of  the New Research Center.  They are collectively referred to as the “Company”. The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).  All significant inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

In preparing the financial statements in conformity with US GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates, required by management, include share-based compensation and fair value of derivatives.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company did not have any cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable consist primarily of receivables resulting from sales of products, and are stated at net realizable value.

Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful receivables to ensure accounts and other receivables are not overstated due to uncollectability.  Allowance for doubtful receivables is maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience.  An additional allowance for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s or other debtor’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s or other debtor’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers or debtors change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted (See Note 4).

Note 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Inventories

Inventories comprise raw materials, packing materials, work in progress and finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the weighted average method. Management periodically compares the cost of inventories with the market value and an allowance is made to write down the inventories to their respective market values, if lower than cost. No allowance for inventories was considered necessary for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. The cost of an asset comprises its purchase price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its present working condition and locations for its intended use. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.

Management estimates that property, plant and equipment have a 5% residual value.  The estimated useful lives are as follows:-
 
   Plant and buildings  39 years  
   Machinery, equipment and automobiles  5-10 years  
 
    Expenditure for maintenance and repairs is charged to expense as incurred. Additions, renewals and betterments are capitalized.

The gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the relevant assets, and, if any, is recognized in the statement of income and other comprehensive income.

Advances to Suppliers
 
Advances to suppliers represent payments made and recorded in advance for goods and services. The Company makes advance payments to raw materials suppliers. In order to maintain a long-term relationship with the suppliers, the Company frequently makes advance payments from one and a half month to three months ahead. The advances to suppliers were $23,839,891 and $20,245,861 as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets, which include property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the assets.   If the carrying amounts of assets exceed their estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amounts of the assets exceed the fair value of the assets.  Fair value is generally determined using the asset’s expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. No impairment loss was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Note 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Intangible Asset

Intangible asset consists of land use right which is stated at cost less amortization. Amortization is computed using the straight-line method, based on the period over which the right is granted by the relevant authorities in Heilongjiang Province, PRC. 
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation arrangements using the fair value method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004) “Share-Based Payment”, which is now codified as Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 718 “Compensation-Stock Compensation”. FASB ASC 718 requires that the fair value of share awards issued, modified, repurchased or cancelled after implementation, under share-based payment arrangements, is measured as of the date the award is issued, modified, repurchased or cancelled. The resulting cost is then recognized in the statement of income and comprehensive income over the service period.
 
The Company estimates fair value of restricted stock based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
 
The fair value of stock options and warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on similar public entities for which share and option price information is available, and the historical volatilities of those public entities’ share prices is considered in calculating the expected volatility appropriate to the Company. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
 
The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”, which is now codified as FASB ASC 718.
 
The fair value of the stock issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. Fair value is measured as the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense.

Note 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Stock Based Compensation (Continued)
 
Stock compensation expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest. FASB ASC 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The current options outstanding were only issued to founders and senior executives of the Company, which have very low turnover; therefore, there are no estimated forfeitures for these options.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative financial instruments are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, which is now codified as FASB ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”.  Under FASB ASC 815, all derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet as assets or liabilities and measured at fair value.  Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments are recorded in current earnings.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No.109 "Accounting for Income Taxes", which is now codified as FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes".  Under FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  Under FASB ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company reviewed the differences between the tax bases under PRC tax laws and financial reporting under US GAAP, and no material differences were found.
 
FASB ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements and it prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributable for the financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognizing, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosures and transitions.  Interest and penalties from tax assessments, if any, are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income.
 
The Company recognizes that virtually all tax positions in the PRC are not free of some degree of uncertainty due to tax law and policy changes by the PRC government. However, the Company cannot reasonably quantify political risk factors and thus must depend on guidance issued by current PRC government officials.

Income Taxes (Continued)
 
Based on all known facts and circumstances and current tax law, the Company believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2010 is not material to its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The Company also believes that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2010, if recognized, would not have a material effect on its effective tax rate. The Company further believes that there are no tax positions for which it is reasonably possible, based on current Chinese tax law and policy, that the unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease over the next 12 months producing, individually or in the aggregate, a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
 
Under current PRC tax laws, 10% withholding tax is imposed in respect to distributions paid to foreign owners.  As the subsidiaries in the PRC have no intention to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, no withholding tax on undistributed earnings has been accrued as of June 30, 2010.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, as revised by No.104, issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or U.S SEC, which is now codified as FASB ASC 605.  In accordance with FASB ASC 605, revenues are recognized when the four following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the delivery is completed, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue from sales of products is recognized when the title is passed to customers upon delivery and when collectability is reasonably assured. The Company does not provide its customers with the right of return (except for quality).  All sales are based on firm customer orders with fixed terms and conditions, which generally cannot be modified.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are costs associated with developing the Company’s intellectual property. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The costs of equipment that are acquired or constructed for research and development activities and have alternative future uses are classified as plant and equipment and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. The research and development expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $3,344,188 and $497,973, respectively.. The research and development expense for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,839,016 and $208,818, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

SFAS No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments” which is now codified as FASB ASC 825 “Financial Instruments”, requires disclosing fair value to the extent practicable for financial instruments that are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet.  The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.

The carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes and other receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, notes payable and other payables approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these items.  The carrying amounts of short-term loans from bank approximate the fair value based on the Company's expected borrowing rate for debt with similar remaining maturities and comparable risk.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share (“EPS’) in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share” and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 (“SAB 98”), which is now codified as FASB ASC 260.  FASB ASC 260 requires companies with complex capital structures to present basic and diluted EPS.  Basic EPS is measured as net income divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for the year.

Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS but presents the dilutive effect on a per share basis of potential common shares (e.g., convertible securities, options and warrants) as if they had been converted at the beginning of the periods presented, or issuance date, if later.  Potential common shares that have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) are excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss).  Other comprehensive income (loss) includes unrealized gains or losses resulting from currency translations of foreign subsidiaries.

Note 2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The Company does not require collateral or other security to support these receivables.  The Company conducts periodic reviews of its customers' financial condition and customer payment practices to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.  As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had credit risk exposure of uninsured cash in banks of approximately $21,632,675 and $6,850,784, respectively.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations in the PRC are subject to special consideration and significant risks not typically associated with companies in North America and Western Europe. These include risks associated with, among others, political, economic and legal environment and foreign currency exchange. The Company’s results may be adversely affected by changes in the political and social conditions in the PRC, and by changes in governmental policies with respect to laws and regulations, anti-inflationary measures, currency conversion, remittances abroad, and rates and methods of taxation, among other things.

Foreign Currency Translation

The functional currency of the Company is Renminbi, and its reporting currency is U.S. dollars.  In accordance with SFAS No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation” which is now codified as FASB ASC 830 “Foreign Currency Matters”, the Company’s balance sheet accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end or period end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods in which these items arise.  Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations from transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the consolidated statement of income and comprehensive income as incurred.

The PRC government imposes significant exchange restrictions on fund transfers out of the PRC that are not related to business operations. These restrictions have not had a material impact on the Company because it has not engaged in any significant transactions that are subject to the restrictions.

Segment Reporting

The Company has only one business segment.  All customers are located in the PRC.  The majority of assets are located in the PRC.  No segment reporting disclosure has been made.

Profit Appropriation

In accordance with PRC regulations, the PRC subsidiaries are required to make appropriations to the statutory surplus reserve fund, based on after-tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP. Appropriation to the statutory surplus reserve fund should be at least 10% of the after-tax net income determined in accordance with PRC GAAP until the reserve is equal to 50% of the entity’s registered capital.  Statutory surplus reserve fund is non-distributable other than in liquidation.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No.2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which amends ASC 820 to add new requirements for disclosures related to amounts transferred into and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements as well as separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements related to amounts reported as Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing fair value disclosure requirements related to the level of disaggregation and the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This guidance has been effective since last quarter ended March 31, 2010, except for the separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements related to amounts reported as Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.

The  adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its results of operations or cash flows.
 
Note 3. RESTRICTED CASH
 
As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had restricted cash of $8,847,678 and nil. The Company’s lenders require the Company to maintain with the lending banks a cash balance of a minimum of 50% of the balance of the bank acceptance notes payable (See Note 11) as collateral for the Company’s obligations to the lenders.  The Company maintained a cash balance of $8,847,678 for bank acceptance notes with the lending banks.

Note 4. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables resulting from sales of products during the normal course of business. Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2010 and December 31 2009 amounted to $18,689,000 and $8,558,172, respectively.

The Company collaborates directly with its end users on new product development, product certifications and post-sales support. Sales contracts are usually signed directly between the Company and its end users. Due to the nature of this industry, the Company also regularly uses distributors to sell its products to various end users. This arrangement can greatly assist to ensure timely collections of its accounts receivable and reduce its selling and administrative costs.  The Company believes that all of the accounts receivable outstanding from these distributors are collectible (See Note 16).

Prior to the reverse merger, Ms. Piao owned 100% of Favor Sea (BVI) indirectly via XD Engineering, the former sole shareholder of Favor Sea (BVI).  Xinda Hi-Tech is an affiliated company owned by the spouse of Mr. Han, who was the major shareholder of Harbin Xinda before the ownership was transferred to HK Engineering Plastics.

On September 20, 2008, Harbin Xinda (“Buyer”) signed an agreement (“Agreement”) with Xinda High-Tech (“Seller”) to acquire all of the assets of Xinda High-Tech, including plant and buildings, land use rights, machinery and equipment for a total amount of RMB240,000,000 (approximately $35,136,006 at date of signing). Harbin Xinda was required to make two installment payments of the full purchase price of RMB50,000,000 by the end of December 31, 2008 and the remaining balance of RMB190,000,000 by the end of September 30, 2009 if all assets purchased are transferred to the Company.  On May 1, 2009, Harbin Xinda and Xinda High-Tech agreed to rescind the Agreement.

Prior to signing of the above-mentioned Agreement, the Company rented the buildings and equipment of Xinda High-Tech for the purpose of its production expansion. The lease term was from May 1, 2008 to April 30, 2011. The lease payment was for a total of RMB2,000,000 per year. The lease contract was cancelled when Harbin Xinda and Xinda High-Tech rescinded the Agreement on May 1, 2009 and at the same time, Harbin Xinda and Xinda High-Tech re-signed a new lease agreement for the office and factory space at No. 9 Dalian North Road, Haping Road Centralized District, Harbin Development Zone, Harbin, Heilongjiang, China. The leased space is 23,893.53 square meters and the term of the lease is from May 1, 2009 to April 30, 2012. The lease payment remains at RMB2,000,000 per year. In the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded $146,505 and $146,347, respectively, for the rent expenses.

Note 12. INCOME TAXES

(a) Corporation Income Tax (“CIT”)

No provision for income tax for China XD Plastics and Favor Sea (US) has been made as they incurred losses for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

HK Engineering Plastics’ income is subject to taxation in Hong Kong at 16.5%.  No provision for Hong Kong income tax has been made as HK Engineering Plastics has had no assessable profit since its incorporation.

Favor Sea (BVI) is not subject to income tax in any tax jurisdiction.

The subsidiaries operating in the PRC are subject to income taxes as described below:-

Prior to January 1, 2008, Foreign Investment Enterprises were subject to the Foreign Enterprise Investment Income Tax (“FEIT”). Under that law, Foreign Investment Enterprises were generally subject to an income tax rate of 33% on all income, including foreign income. Qualified Foreign Investment Enterprises would receive a reduced national tax rate of 24% or 15%. Qualifying Foreign Investment Enterprises in the manufacturing sector were exempted from the FEIT for two years starting in the first year they became profitable, and received a 50% reduction in the FEIT for the subsequent three years, or a “two plus three” tax holiday. As such Harbin Xinda was exempt from paying the FEIT for 2007 and 2006.

Under the Enterprise Income Tax (“EIT,”) a uniform tax rate of 25% is applicable to both domestic and Foreign Investment Enterprises starting from January 1, 2008. For existing Foreign Investment Enterprises, the increased tax rate will be phased in. In addition to the rate increase, a majority of the favorable tax treatments currently enjoyed by Foreign Investment Entities are abolished, including the two plus three tax holiday, tax rate reductions relating to businesses located in specified regions of the country and income tax refunds for re-investments in China. Under the new law, Harbin Xinda is subject to the new tax rates and will lose the “two plus three” tax holiday that Harbin Xinda would have been entitled to under the old law.  However, as a recipient of the High-Technology Enterprise Certificate from the Chinese government, Harbin Xinda is entitled to a rebate of a portion of the EIT. This rebate will reduce Harbin Xinda’s effective EIT tax rate to 15% from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2010.

Income for the Research Institute is exempt from income tax under the current tax laws in the PRC.

Note 13. SERIES C CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

Key terms of the Series C preferred stock sold by the Company in December 2009 financing are summarized as follows:
 
Dividends
 
Dividends on the Series C preferred stock shall accrue and be cumulative from and after the issuance date.  For each outstanding share of Series C preferred stock, dividends are payable at the per annum rate of 6% of the liquidation preference amount of the Series C preferred stock.  Dividends are payable quarterly on the business day following the last business day of each December, June,  and September of each year (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), and continuing until such stock is fully converted or redeemed. Preferred stock holders are entitled to convert any unpaid dividends per preferred stock then remaining, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock at a mutually agreed conversion rate.
 
Voting Rights
 
The Series C preferred stock holders are entitled to vote separately as a class on matters affecting the Series C preferred stock and with regard to certain corporate matters set forth in the Series C Certificate of Designation, so long as any shares of the Series C preferred stock remain outstanding.

Note 13. SERIES C CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK (Continued)

Liquidation Preference

In the event of a liquidation event, the holders of the Series C preferred stock then outstanding shall be entitled to receive in cash out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount equal to $1,000 per share of the Series C preferred stock, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends thereon, whether or not declared, together with any other dividends declared but unpaid thereon, as of the date of liquidation before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of the common stock or any other junior stock. If upon the occurrence of liquidation, the assets thus distributed among the holders of the Series C preferred stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full Series C preferred stock amount, then the entire assets of the Company legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series C preferred stock.

Conversion Rights
 
i) Voluntary Conversion
 
At any time on or after the date of the initial issuance of the Series C preferred stock, the holder of any such shares of Series C preferred stock may, at such holder’s option, convert any whole number of preferred shares, plus the amount of any accrued but unpaid dividends per preferred share then remaining, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock at the initial conversion price of $4.60 per share. The initial conversion price may be adjusted for stock splits and combinations, dividend and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets as stimulated in the Certification of Designations.

ii) Mandatory Redemption
 
If any preferred shares remain outstanding on the maturity date of December 1, 2012, the Company shall redeem such preferred shares in cash in an amount equal to the outstanding conversion amount for each such preferred share (See “Accounting for the Series C Preferred Stock” below).

Conversion Restriction

Holders of the Series C preferred stock may not convert the preferred stock to common stock if the conversion would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock. That limitation may be waived by a holder of the Series C preferred stock and an increase or decrease in the maximum percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% may be specified in such notice by sending a written notice to the Company on not less than 61 days prior to the date that they would like to waive the limitation.

Registration Rights Agreement
 
In connection with the financing, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “RRA”) with the investors in which the Company agreed to file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register the shares of common stock underlying the Series C preferred stock and the Warrants, thirty (30) days after the closing of the financing.  The Company has agreed to use its best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective within 60 calendar days after filing, or 180 calendar days after filing in the event Cutback Shares are required and the Additional Registration Statement is required to cover Additional Registrable Securities.
 
The Company is required to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until such date as is the earlier of the date when all of the securities covered by that Registration Statement have been sold or the date on which such securities may be sold without any restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (the “Financing Effectiveness Period”).  The Company will pay liquidated damages of 2% of each holder’s initial investment in the Units sold in the Financing, payable in cash, if the Registration Statement is not filed or declared effective within the foregoing time periods or ceases to be effective prior to the expiration of the Financing Effectiveness Period.  In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. However, no liquidated damages shall be paid with respect to any securities being registered that the Company are not permitted to include in the Financing Registration Statement due to the SEC’s application of Rule 415.
 
The Company evaluated the contingent obligation related to the RRA liquidated damages in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2 “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” which is now codified as FASB ASC 825-20, which requires the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, to be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, which is now codified as FASB ASC 450.  The Company concluded that such obligation was not probable to incur based on the best information and facts available as of December 31, 2009.  Therefore, no contingent obligation related to the RRA liquidated damages was recognized as of December 31, 2009.

The Company’s registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with the issuance of Series C preferred stock was declared effective on February 19, 2010.

Note 13. SERIES C CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK (Continued)

Accounting for the Series C preferred stock
 
The Series C preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable on December 1, 2012, at a conversion amount equal to the stated value plus the additional amount.  The additional amount is a formula based on the 6% dividend rate and the time that the preferred stock is outstanding. The Company used the guidance of FASB ASC 480-10-S99, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” which states that equity instruments with redemption features that are not solely within the control of the issuer to be classified temporary equity.  The Company’s Series C preferred stock is contingently redeemable as it is convertible until the end of the third anniversary.

Embedded Conversion Feature

FASB ASC 815 indicates that an embedded conversion features should be considered to be a derivative if the following criteria are met:

i)  The economic characteristics and risks differ between the host and embedded conversion feature. This condition, relative to our Series C preferred stock, is met because the preferred stock has a mandatory redemption feature at the discretion of the holders instead of the Company. Hence, the conversion feature is not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract. The embedded derivative (that is, the conversion option) must be separated from its host contract and accounted for as a derivative liability provided that the conversion option would, as a freestanding instrument, be a derivative instrument.

ii)  The contract that includes the host and the conversion feature is not re-measured at fair value. This condition is met because the contract (Series C preferred stock) is not to be re-measured at fair value.

iii)  A separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded conversion feature would be derivative as per paragraph 6 of FASB ASC 815. Our review of paragraph 6 revealed that the embedded conversion feature without a host would be considered a derivative because the embedded conversion feature (1) has underlying and notional amounts (2) requires no initial net investments and (3) permits net settlement.

Based on the above considerations, the embedded conversion features related to our Series C preferred stock is a derivative that must be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, 15,186 out of total 15,188 shares of Series C preferred stock were converted into 3,301,300 shares of common stock. The conversion of Series C preferred stock resulted in a fair value gain of $3,082,922 recorded in earnings and a credit of $15,495,392 to additional paid-in capital during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The Company calculated the fair value of the embedded conversion feature at June 30, 2010 to be $2,065 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions:

Stock Dividend to Holders of Series C Preferred Stock

On April 27, 2010, three holders of Series C preferred stock elected to receive their dividend payments in the form of restricted common stock aggregated to 24,545 shares, in connection with their conversion of all their series C preferred shares pursuant to the provisions in the Certification of Designation of Series C Preferred Stock.

Accounting for Warrants

The Warrants have an initial exercise price which is subject to adjustments in certain circumstances for stock splits, combinations, dividends and distributions, reclassification, exchange or substitution, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sales of assets, issuance of additional shares of common stock or equivalents.  The Warrants may not be exercised if it would result in the holder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s outstanding common shares.

Note 13. SERIES C CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK (Continued)

The Company analyzed the Warrants in accordance with SFAS No. 133, which is now codified as FASB ASC 815, to determine whether the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative and, if so, whether the Warrants meet the scope exception of FASB ASC 815, which is that contracts issued or held by the reporting entity that are both (1) indexed to its own stock and (2) classified in stockholders’ equity shall not be considered to be derivative instruments for purposes of FASB ASC 815.

The Company also considered the provisions of EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”, which is now codified as FASB ASC 815-40, and which applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by FASB ASC 815 and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock.

As a result of its interpretation of FASB ASC 815-40, the Company concluded that the Warrants issued in the December 2009 financing should be treated as a derivative liability because the Warrants are entitled to a price adjustment provision to allow the exercise price to be reduced in the event the Company issues or sells any additional shares of common stock at a price per share less than the then-applicable exercise price or without consideration, which is typically referred to as a “Down-round protection” or “anti-dilution” provision.  According to FASB ASC 815-40, the “Down-round protection” provision is not considered to be an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares which leads the Warrants to fail to be qualified as indexed to the Company’s own stock and then to fail to meet the scope exceptions of FASB ASC 815. Therefore, the Company accounted for the Warrants as derivative liabilities under FASB ASC 815.  Pursuant to FASB ASC 815, derivatives are measured at fair value and re-measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings at each reporting period.

Series A warrants
 
The Company estimated the fair value of the Series A warrants using the Black Scholes option-pricing model and available information that management deems most relevant.

The Company calculated the fair value of the Series A warrants at June 30, 2010 to be $6,230,995 compared to the fair value of $7,248,903 as of December 31, 2009, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:

·  
risk free rate of return of 1.79%
·  
volatility of 157.09%
·  
dividend yield of 6.0%
·  
expected term of 4.42 years

The volatility of 157.09% was determined by taking the Company’s stock price from February 13, 2009 through November 13, 2009 and December 2, 2009 through June 30, 2010.  The Company believes that the stock price immediately after the reverse merger to February 12, 2009 remained constant. Moreover, the stock price was extremely volatile from November 14, 2009 to December 1, 2009, when it began trading on NASDAQ.

Note 13. SERIES C CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK (Continued)

The change in fair value of the Warrants of $1,017,908 was recorded in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Series B warrants
 
The Series B warrants were not valued at the date of the agreement because the price will not be known until the Price Reset Date.

Placement Agent Warrants
 
In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5.A: “Miscellaneous Accounting-Expenses of Offering” which is now codified as FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1”, “specific incremental costs directly attributable to a proposed or actual offering of securities may properly be deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of the offering.”  In accordance with the SEC Accounting and Reporting Manual, “costs of issuing equity securities are charged directly to equity as deduction of the fair value assigned to shares issued.”  Accordingly, the Company concluded that the Placement Agent Warrants are directly attributable to the December 2009 financing.  If the Company had not issued the Placement Agent Warrants, the Company would have had to pay the same amount of cash as the fair value.  Therefore, the Company deducted the total fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants as of the commitment date, which was approximately $577,123, against the gross proceeds.
 
Since the Placement Agent Warrants contain the same terms as the Investor Warrants, the Placement Agent Warrants are also entitled to the benefits of the “down-round protection” provisions, which means that the Placement Agent Warrants will also need to be accounted for as a derivative under FASB ASC 815 with changes in fair value recorded in earnings at each reporting period.  As of June 30, 2010, the total fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants was $553,234, compared to the fair value of $643,610 as of December 31, 2009; therefore, the change of the total fair value of the Placement Agent Warrants of $90,376 was recorded in earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The registered holders of the Investor and Placement Agent Warrants are entitled to purchase from the Company at any time or times on or after the date immediately after the six month anniversary until the sixty month anniversary after the issuance date.

Note 14. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
 
The Company adopted the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) on May 26, 2009, which reserved 7,800,000 shares of common stock for issuance. The 2009 Plan allows the Company to issue awards of incentive non-qualified stock options and stock bonuses to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company, which may be subject to restrictions. The Company applied FASB ASC 718 and related interpretations in accounting for the 2009 Plan. Compensation for services that a corporation receives under FASB ASC 718 through share-based compensation plans should be measured by the quoted market price of the stock at the grant date less the amount, if any, that the individual is required to pay.

Stock compensation expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest. The fair value of the stock compensation is amortized over the respective vesting period based on the terms of the employment or service agreements under which the stock was awarded. The fair value of the stock-based compensation expense amortized for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,191,027 and $387,833, respectively.

Note 19. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

FASB ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” introduces a framework for measuring fair value and expands required disclosure about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities.  FASB ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. 

There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 -
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 -
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. 

 
Level 3 -
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Note 20. DISTRICT ENTRY AGREEMENT

On April 14, 2010, China XD Plastics, through its subsidiary Harbin Xinda, entered into a District Entry Agreement (the “DE Agreement”) and a Memorandum (the “Memo”) with Harbin Economic and Technological Development Zone Administration (the “Administration”).  Pursuant to the DE Agreement, Harbin Xinda agreed to relocate all its manufacturing facilities of the Qinling Road Factory and change its business address and tax registration to Ha Ping Road Centralized Industrial Park where Dalian Road Factory is located. Following the relocation of such manufacturing facilities, and upon the completion of the business address change and tax registration with the Development Zone of the new location, the Administration will pay a total of approximately $3 million (RMB 20 million) to Harbin Xinda as business relocation subsidies. According to the payment terms of the DE Agreement, approximately $1.5 million (RMB 10 million) will be paid within seven days of the completion of Harbin Xinda’s business address change and tax registration and the remaining approximately $1.5 million (RMB 10 million) will be paid in the corresponding period the following month.

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, $3 million (RMB 20 million) was received.  However, Harbin Xinda has to return the relocation subsidy, plus interest, to the Administration if Harbin Xinda’s revenue does not reach RMB 1.3 billion for the year ending December 31, 2010.  The Company did not recognize the subsidy in other income as in accordance with FASB ASC 450-30-25, the gain is contingent upon the Company meeting the revenue target as stipulated in the DE Agreement and the Memo.  Therefore, it was recorded in other payables.

We continued to capitalize on this growth trend during the second quarter of 2010.
 
Cost of Sales and Gross Margin
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we had cost of sales of $47,206,057, as compared with cost of sales of $25,243,756 during the same period in 2009, an increase of approximately $21,962,301, or 87.0%, reflecting the increase in net sales. The gross profit rose to $14,804,614 for the three months ended June 30, 2010, or a 122.0% increase compared with $6,668,511 during the same period in 2009. Our gross margin increased to 23.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 20.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase was mainly attributed to the increased sales of our high-end products as a percentage to total sales in the second quarter of 2010 thanks to our efforts of developing and selling more high value-added automotive modified plastics.
 
Operating Expenses
 
Our operating expenses were $16,764,124 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $4,449,922 during the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $12,314,202, or approximately 276.7%. The increase in operating expenses was principally due to the increase in stock-based compensation expense, selling expenses, research and development expenses, depreciation expenses and payroll expenses. Selling expenses increased by $61,233, or 101.1%, to $121,826 during the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $60,593 during the same period in 2009, as we expanded to other major automobile regions in China while we continued penetrating the Northeast China market. General and administrative expenses increased from $4,180,511 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 to $14,803,282 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.  General and administrative expenses included non-cash stock compensation expense of options granted to Mr. Han of $13,355,832 and $3,065,388 for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Research and development expenses increased from $208,818, or 780.7%, during the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $1,839,016 during the same period in 2010, reflecting our increased efforts in new products development. As a result, our operating expenses increased to $16,764,124 during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 from $4,449,922 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense decreased by $59,849, or 17.8%, from $337,113 during the three months ended June 30, 2009 to $277,264 for the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in interest expense resulted from the decrease in our loans, as we repaid some borrowings which were used to fund the rapid growth in our business.

Change in Fair Value of Warrants and Derivative Liabilities

Change in fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities was an increase of $712,768 during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to nil for the three months ended June 30, 2009 due to the change of fair value of warrants and embedded conversion feature related to the private placement in December 2009.
 
Net Income (Loss)
 
Despite the significant increase in our sales and gross margin, due to the increase of stock based compensation costs and expenses, we incurred a net loss of $2,956,372 during the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared with a net income of $1,931,003 during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The significant decrease in net income was mainly attributable to $13,355,832 stock based compensation and a fair value loss of $712,768 on  warrants and derivative liabilities related to the private placement in December 2009.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
As a result of the factors described above and a currency translation adjustment, our comprehensive loss was $2,428,507 during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, compared with comprehensive income of $1,941,223 during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.

Change in fair value of warrant and derivative liabilities was a decrease of $4,408,886 during the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to nil for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to the change of fair value of warrants and embedded conversion feature related to the private placement in December 2009.
 
Net Income
 
Due to the significant increase in our sales and gross margin, and despite the significant increase of stock based compensation expenses, our net income increased to $10,125,984 during the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with $5,947,645 during the six months ended June 30, 2009. This increase in net income was mainly attributable to non-cash fair value gain of $4,408,886 on warrants and derivative liabilities related to the private placement in December 2009, offset by $13,355,832  non-cash stock based compensation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of June 30, 2010, we had $21,632,675 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $6,850,784 as of December 31, 2009. There was an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $14,781,891. The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the period was mainly due to cash provided by operations, more specifically, the increase in accounts payable and other payables, deferred revenue, and proceeds from bank acceptance notes payable, offset by the increase in accounts and other receivables.
 
Operations
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash provided by operations was $10,996,422, compared to cash provided by operations of $3,992,276 for the same period in 2009. The primary reason for the change was mainly due to the increase in net income, deferred revenue and accounts payable.
 
Investments
 
Cash provided in investing activities was $68,826 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to cash used in investing activities of $711,153 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, as we received proceeds from the disposal of property, a plant and equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2010.
 
Financing
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was $3,574,439 as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $5,678,139 for the same period in 2009. Increase in cash provided by financing activities is sourced from the proceeds of the short term bank acceptance notes payable.
 
Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe our cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will satisfy our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other liquidity requirements associated with our operations for at least the next 12 months.
 
The majority of our revenues and expenses were denominated primarily in Renminbi (“RMB”), the currency of the People’s Republic of China. There is no assurance that exchange rates between the RMB and the U.S. Dollar will remain stable. We do not engage in currency hedging. Inflation has not had a material impact on our business.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
Neither us, nor any of our subsidiaries, has any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
This section should be read together with the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included as Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2009 filed with the SEC.

Allowance for Doubtful Receivables

The Company recognizes an allowance for doubtful receivables to ensure accounts and other receivables are not overstated due to uncollectability.  Allowance for doubtful receivables is maintained for all customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, significant one-time events and historical experience.  An additional allowance for individual accounts is recorded when the Company becomes aware of a customer’s or other debtor’s inability to meet its financial obligation, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s or other debtor’s operating results or financial position. If circumstances related to customers or debtors change, estimates of the recoverability of receivables would be further adjusted.

Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenue recognition policies are in compliance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, as revised by No.104, issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or U.S SEC, which is now codified as FASB ASC 605.  In accordance with FASB ASC 605, revenues are recognized when the four following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the delivery is completed, (iii) the fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

Revenue from sales of products is recognized when the title is passed to customers upon delivery and when collectability is reasonably assured. The Company does not provide its customers with the right of return (except for quality).  All sales are based on firm customer orders with fixed terms and conditions, which generally cannot be modified.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories comprise raw materials, packing materials, work in process and finished goods. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost determined by the weighted average method. Management periodically compares the cost of inventories with the market value and an allowance is made for writing down the inventories to their market value, if lower than cost. No allowance for inventories is considered necessary for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
 
Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) No. 718 in the second quarter of 2009, at which time the Company began recognizing an expense for unvested share-based compensation that has been issued or will be issued after that date. The Company adopted ASC No. 718 on a prospective basis.

The Company estimates fair value of restricted stock based on the number of shares granted and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes model. The Company’s expected volatility assumption is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The risk-free interest rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.
 
The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC No. 718.
 
The fair value of the stock issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. Fair value is measured as the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital.
 
Stock compensation expense recognized is based on awards expected to vest.  ASC No. 718 requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent periods, if necessary, if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The current options outstanding were only issued to founders and senior executives of the Company, which have very low turnover; therefore, there are no estimated forfeitures for these options.

Accounting for the Series C preferred stock
 
The Series C preferred stock is mandatorily redeemable on December 1, 2012, at a conversion amount equal to the stated value plus the additional amount.  The additional amount is a formula based on the 6% dividend rate and the time that the preferred stock is outstanding. The Company uses the guidance of FASB ASC 480-10-S99,  “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity”, which states that equity instruments with redemption features that are not solely within the control of the issuer to be classified temporary equity.  The Company’s Series C preferred stock is contingently redeemable as it is convertible until the end of the third anniversary.

Accounting for embedded conversion feature 

The Company applied FASB ASC 815 to account for the embedded conversion features related to our Series C preferred stock.  The embedded conversion feature is a derivative that must be bifurcated from the host instrument and accounted for at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings.
 
Accounting for warrants

The Company analyzed the warrants issued in the December 2009 financing in accordance with FASB ASC 815, to determine whether the warrants meet the definition of a derivative and, if so, whether the warrants meet the scope exception of FASB ASC 815, which is that contracts issued or held by the reporting entity that are both (1) indexed to its own stock and (2) classified in stockholders’ equity shall not be considered to be derivative instruments for purposes of FASB ASC 815.

The Company also considered the provisions of EITF Issue No. 07-5, “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” which is now codified as FASB ASC 815-40, and which applies to any freestanding financial instruments or embedded features that have the characteristics of a derivative, as defined by FASB ASC 815, and to any freestanding financial instruments that are potentially settled in an entity’s own common stock.

As a result of its interpretation of FASB ASC 815-40, the Company concluded that the warrants should be treated as a derivative liability because the warrants are entitled to a price adjustment provision to allow the exercise price to be reduced in the event the Company issues or sells any additional shares of common stock at a price per share less than the then-applicable exercise price or without consideration, which is typically referred to as a “Down-round protection” or “anti-dilution” provision.  According to FASB ASC 815-40, the “Down-round protection” provision is not considered to be an input to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares which leads the warrants to fail to be qualified as indexed to the Company’s own stock and then to fail to meet the scope exceptions of FASB ASC 815. Therefore, the Company accounted for the warrants as derivative liabilities under FASB ASC 815.  Pursuant to FASB ASC 815, derivatives are measured at fair value and re-measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings at each reporting period.

Recent accounting pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No.2010-06 (“ASU 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”, which amends ASC 820 to add new requirements for disclosures related to amounts transferred into and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements as well as separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements related to amounts reported as Level 3 fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 also clarifies existing fair value disclosure requirements related to the level of disaggregation and the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This guidance has been effective since last quarter ended March 31, 2010, except for the separate disclosures of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements related to amounts reported as Level 3 fair value measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.

The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its results of operations or cash flows.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s management has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operations of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009.
 
The material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of the aforementioned accounts or disclosures that might result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. However, giving full consideration to these material weaknesses, we performed adequate analyses and procedures, including among other things, and in addition to the remediation initiatives the Company has implemented as identified in our Annual Report on From 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, transaction reviews and account reconciliations in order to provide assurance that our unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP. As a result of these procedures, we concluded that the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with GAAP.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
